Hola Delicious peeps!
I checked out a new bbq place yesterday. It was good but did not blow me away. After all this is not Texas or Memphis. So this got me wondering, what makes great bbq? What do you all think? Also what are some of your favorites for side dishes? |

For me it's all about the tenderness of the food and the flavor. I really like being able to TASTE the char enough to add texture. I need a sweet and spicy sauce and it has to be added hot off the grill. The side dishes really depend on what I'm having for the main dish. I love salads of any kind, potato dishes and lots of veggies. For me, simple is better for that kind of soul food. |
For me the amount of smoke, the kind of wood used and the spice ribs play a huge role in the results of the bbq.

I would agree that all of those things are a huge factor to my enjoyment. I can take my grilling very seriously but at this point with all of this cold weather and snow, I would be happy to have even an average bbq meal LOL |
I am certainly NOT a BBQ cooker... Its the one thing I always leave to someone else.... but side dishes I can bring down!
Family BBQ favorites around here are deviled eggs, vegetable skewers, warm red potato salad, and broccoli and pea salad. |

I like a lot in my bbq and I often don't find it all, but I can get two out of the three (tangy/smoky/sweet) pretty easily. Favorite sides include: mustard potato salad, baked beans, deviled eggs, veggies and salads. Don't forget the rolls! I love yeast rolls and the 'chef hat' rolls best. |

I enjoy burnt ends I enjoy brisket (I like to make my own, but I don't do the whole grill/smoking thing, I kind of cheat a bit) but it comes out good. I also like sausages. I like a sweet but spicy sauce normally -- The sides I like are: mac/cheese, baked beans, collards, green beans, potato salad, and rolls. Just like Gemme has mentioned below. Quote:

Hello Delicious people,
How is everyone doing? Happy Weekend :) I have been putting in some long days grilling at work. The last few weeks have shown me how much I really love to grill. It is awesome when we can grill indoors, remember that grilling is not only for the outside. Just don't ever fire up charcoal inside. A gas grill is nice, a cast iron flat surface that is really hot is great for grilling too. Yesterday I had a great reminder of how much work goes on behind the scenes to make a restaurant run. Usually my company is a well oiled machine but we had some things go wrong this week. Yesterday one of our two convection ovens broke down. As our Executive Chef and I stood there staring at the broken down machine that we use all day long from open to close all we could do was shrug and say "oh well", because we had no control over this and knew that we could change up our routine to make things work. There is so much work that goes into making a menu happen. Look at all of the various ingredients the next time that you are in a restaurant. Ask questions about where some of the items come from. For example we use oven roasted tomato's instead of sun dried tomato's and it is a lengthy process to make them. Who knew? Anyway from broken down oven, to orders coming in wrong, to staff calling in sick, it has been a week that has challenged us and forced us to step up and work harder than before. I often say that if everyone could see how brutally hard this work is, it would not seem so glamorous. This thought crossed my mind today as I was standing in the dish room cleaning a huge bur mixer today. The happy customers however, make the hard work worth it. I think that it is time for a survey in here..it is fun to get to know about each other this way. On the other site, I used to do regular surveys in the Culinary Cabana. Some of the replies were hilarious. |

Thankfully your week is over. Hopefully this next one will go a lot smoother. I enjoy surveys, that's a great idea! |

It's not an easy job. Mine isn't too physically demanding but I am on my feet 10 hours a day or more if we include my paper route that I took just to have something else to do. When you ARE off, are you lucky enough to get a few days in a row? I typically have weekends off but I spend my saturdays promoting my project at a local market and sometimes pick up an extra hour or two at the shop. I look forward to sleeping in on sundays BUT I have flea markets this month before I hit the road LOL |
Survey Time
Every now and then I will throw out a survey just for fun. Virgo Moon Survey: Does the full moon impact your appetite? What is your beverage of choice to have with a meal? Name your Top 3 Comfort Foods: If you could have anyone cook for you who would it be? If you could have a meal anywhere in the world, where would you go? Tell us about it. Do you have a Food TV show that you like? If so what do you like about it? What do you want to learn how to cook/make? For the non cooks, what do you never want to learn how to cook/make? Name your Top 3 Desserts: Create a new ice cream flavor. Give it a name: |

I have been thinking about the "who would you like to cook for you" question. My automatic response went to "you must mean people outside of this thread, right?" |
